It's nice to see this case being brought.
I hope it ends up doing something for the insane hardware costs. If nothing else, I'd hope that the old production lines can be stood up by other companies if Hynix and Micron can't be arsed to continue.
It will only have an effect if the fines threaten their profits, and that seems unlikely.
Fines aren't the only option for punishment
If this doesn't lead anywhere, we'll probably have to wait until 2029 when a competent governmental department free of corruption could possibly appear.
Fucking Trump era needs to end!
